XenSource beta

Posted in xen, sles, linux, beta testing on June 21st, 2006 by ballew

After some phone calls and emails with sales and support, I managed to get my site at work enrolled in the Xen Enterprise closed beta. This means I’ll get support for free during the beta, and I’ll be a leg up come release time. They ask 10 hours a week, my work-allocated time to VT research, plus a 45 minute phone call at the end of the week. My boss was pretty happy about it, and I’m pretty happy about it, because I really think this Xen stuff will take off. Open source + Hypervisor = past and future for computing.

Target:

SLES9 x86-64 on Sun Fire x4200. This is their officially supported version, so this works for me. Later I plan to move to Pacifica when it becomes available from Sun.
